Just looking for a quick tutorial on how to install all four of those mods.

I know its a lot to look at, but if you spot anything that is going to conflict and cause me issues, please let me know how to fix it. Any advice on this would be cool too!

Drop lit torches is part of the install of one of the FCOM mods, so you don't need to install that seperately.

Make a backup of your Data folder prior to installing any mods. This will save you time when you have to get back to original to start over, which is likely to happen.

Follow the guide on installation order for FCOM if you haven't already installed all of the mods.

Install one mod at a time and play test your game to ensure that nothing is seriously messed up due to the installation.

Make a save and continue.

Build your bashed patch after each mod.

Read all install notes included with each mod to be sure of compatibility with the other mods you plan on using.

Install official patches, then unofficial patches, OBSE, BOSS and Wrye Bash prior to installing other mods.

Make sure the game is launched with the OBSE_loader.exe file.

I would recommend the last link first as it is rather thorough, but might be a bit much. The second one is a better one for easy following and finally the last is from the mod authors and is quite concise :)

 

All of those links were pulled from the mod list at TES Nexus

Must have installed the mods in the wrong order.

 

Of that big list up there, could someone give me a nice install order? It is quite confusing for me, I just can't figure it all out.
